[You may also click here for additional information] New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 7, 2025) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against NET Power Inc. ('Net Power' or the 'Company') (NYSE: NPWR) and reminds investors of the June 17, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. [ This image cannot be displayed. Please visit the source: ] Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Net Power was unlikely to complete Project Permian on schedule, and the project was likely to be significantly more expensive than Defendants had represented, because of, inter alia, supply chain issues and numerous site- and region-specific challenges; (2) accordingly, Defendants' projections regarding the time and capital needed to complete Project Permian were unrealistic; (3) the increased time and capital needed to complete Project Permian were likely to have a significant negative impact on the Company's business and financial results; and (4) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On November 14, 2023, during pre-market hours, Net Power issued a press release announcing its third quarter 2023 results and providing a business update. Therein, the Company disclosed that "[d]ue to . . . tightness in the global supply chain, we are incorporating a 12-month cushion into our expected schedule for Project Permian' with Defendants 'now expecting to achieve initial power generation sometime between the second half of 2027 and first half of 2028.' This represented a significant delay from Defendants' initial schedule to have the plant operational by 2026. On this news, Net Power's stock price fell $2.47 per share, or 18.54%, to close at $10.85 per share on November 14, 2023. On March 10, 2025, during pre-market hours, Net Power issued a press release announcing its fourth quarter and full year 2024 results and providing a business update. Therein, Net Power disclosed that it 'now estimates Project Permian's total installed cost to be between $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion"-significantly higher than its last estimate of $1.1 billion-"which is inclusive of non-recurring first-of-a-kind, Project Permian site-specific and owner costs[,]' advising that 'there are a number of site- and region-specific challenges which impact cost.' The Company further advised that Project Permian 'would come online no earlier than 2029[,]' representing a significant delay from its prior timeline of sometime between the second half of 2027 and first half of 2028. In addition, Net Power reported that it ended 2024 'with $533 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments, down from $580 million last quarter, primarily due to $13 million in operating cash outflows and $29 million in capital expenditures for La Porte upgrades and SN1 development.' On this news, Net Power's stock price fell $2.18 per share, or 31.46%, to close at $4.75 per share on March 10, 2025. Then, on April 15, 2025, Net Power issued a press release announcing that its President and Chief Operating Officer ('COO') and Chief Financial Officer would depart the Company on May 1, 2025, and that the Company had appointed a new COO, effective immediately. On this news, Net Power's stock price fell $0.13 per share, or 5.75%, to close at $2.13 per share on April 16, 2025. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding NET Powers' conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Judge turns back challenge to MBTA housing law; Holden among plaintiffs
Superior Court ruling dismissing MBTA Communities unfunded mandate challenge by Michael Elfland on Scribd A Superior Court judge on Friday tossed a lawsuit brought by nine municipalities challenging the MBTA Communities Act, ruling that the controversial zoning-reform law is not an unfunded mandate. Plymouth Superior Court Justice Mark Gildea granted the Healey administration's motion to dismiss the latest challenges to the 2021 law, which supporters see as a key tool to spur development of much-needed housing in more than 170 eastern Massachusetts cities and towns. Marshfield, Middleton, Hanson, Holden, Hamilton, Duxbury, Wenham, Weston and Wrentham had each filed legal complaints against the law in recent months, contending that it should not be enforceable after the Division of Local Mandates in Auditor Diana DiZoglio's office deemed the measure an unfunded mandate. More: Holden seeks short-term halt to MBTA housing law Plaintiffs said allowing multifamily housing by right in at least one reasonably sized zone as the law requires could force them to absorb significant new infrastructure costs with no state assistance. But Gildea concluded the possible costs are "indirect," which means the law is not an unfunded mandate, and that grant programs are available to help shoulder some of the burden. "Even if [the law] was an unfunded mandate, the Municipalities have failed to allege sufficient facts concerning any anticipated amounts associated with future infrastructure costs beyond a speculative level," Gildea wrote in a 40-page decision. Some of the plaintiffs laid out their own issues with the law as well, such as Middleton arguing that it should not be classified as an MBTA community and therefore should not be subject to the mandatory zoning reforms. Jason Talerman, an attorney for some of the towns, said in an email that plaintiffs are "disappointed with the result and find the decision to be contrary to applicable law." Most of the 177 communities subject to the law have approved new zoning reforms, putting them in compliance, according to the Healey administration. In January, the Supreme Judicial Court upheld the MBTA Communities Act as a constitutional law the attorney general can enforce with legal action. The high court required the Healey administration to redo the regulation-setting process. This article originally appeared on Telegram & Gazette: Judge turns back challenge to MBTA housing law

3 False Alarms That Sent the Stock Market Into a Frenzy (And How To Protect Your Money)
The stock market is often driven by emotion. Information breaks about a company struggling to reach profitability or wider economic news is communicated, and it can send the markets into hysteria. Pair that with social media, and it can cause real problems. Investors choosing to act on such emotion can create a real problem for their portfolios, particularly if the information isn't 100% accurate. Be Aware: Check Out: Protecting assets is essential for Americans as misinformation or lack of clarity rattles markets. Here are three times a false alarm brought turmoil to stocks and how to protect your money in those times. Hysteria in the market doesn't always mean it's a bad day for stocks. News around President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs is one example. After Trump's Liberation Day for tariffs, the market saw vast losses impacting investors. That was until an inaccurate X post claimed the White House was considering a 90-day pause of tariffs. The news brought jubilee, with markets spiking nearly 10%, or $2.4 trillion in value, according to the Wall Street Journal. Unfortunately, the information was incorrect. The tweet, attributed to Walter Bloomberg, was ultimately deleted. The Wall Street Journal states the source of the information remains uncertain. The rally was brief, with the market closing largely flat for the day, with the S&P 500 up roughly 100 points. Read Next: Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken the markets by storm. Tech stocks, in particular, have benefited from the explosion of AI. When Chinese startup DeepSeek introduced a new, free AI assistant that claims to use significantly less data, the market reacted swiftly. On Jan. 27, investors worldwide unloaded tech stocks out of fear that DeepSeek would quickly amass power. Nvidia led the losers, creating a loss of $593 billion, according to Reuters, which was a record single-day loss in terms of market cap for any listing on Wall Street. Other companies joined in monumental losses, with the Nasdaq closing down over 4% for the day. Things aren't as bleak for Nvidia today, with the stock trading at roughly the same price it did at the beginning of 2025. The Nikkei in Japan is a leading stock exchange worldwide. It experienced tumult in August 2024 over fears related to issues with Yen carry trade. Fear spiked that investors would need to sell holdings to cover losses tied to their yen trades. The result was a loss not seen since 1987, with the Nikkei falling 12% on Aug. 5, 2024, according to Reuters. The S&P 500 followed, losing 8% in a two-day period. Thankfully, the loss was short-lived, as Reuters notes that the S&P 500 recovered its losses within two weeks, and the Nikkei followed suit in a month. Protecting assets can be a challenge for many Americans during false alarms in the stock market. Selling stocks is an understandable knee-jerk reaction. Such action can easily derail years of planning, especially if it's on the heels of fake headlines. Diversifying your portfolio weekly and rebalancing it regularly are good ways to safeguard assets. Volatility in the market is normal, but proper due diligence is crucial before making rash decisions that could result in significant losses. If you have a financial advisor, consider speaking with them to verify you're on target with your investment plan. Social media and potentially false headlines can drive emotion. Before making fearful decisions, do research to verify validity before taking action that could lead to needlessly painful losses.
